oh no hippy don't mistake me, I'm not trying to come down on you or anything

just pointed out he had changed it...its saying he did in his phpinfo file and godaddy is telling him the same. The only reason you need to modify the htaccess file is whenever you can't change your php.ini file.
RK KingKong: I'm curious in seeing 1) your phpinfo page to verify these changes are made and 2) WHERE is the error appearing saying you can't upload the file because its too big. Is it showing you in DownloadsII or are you getting a timeout page or something in your browser?
